Here is some news that has shocked many people around the world. It seems that the legendary America bike maker Harley-Davidson has just revealed Project LiveWire – the first Harley-Davidson electric motorcycle. While not for sale, Project LiveWire is specifically designed for the purpose of getting insight into rider expectations of an electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A 2014 U.S. tour – kicking off with a journey down Route 66 – will visit more than 30 Harley-Davidson dealerships now through the end of the year. In 2015, the Project LiveWire Experience will continue in the U.S. and expand into Canada and Europe. In keeping with the company’s customer-led product development approach, starting soon select consumers across the country will be able to ride and provide feedback on the bike, helping to shape the future of Harley-Davidson’s first-ever electric motorcycle.
“America at its best has always been about reinvention,” said Matt Levatich, President and Chief Operating Officer, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “And, like America, Harley-Davidson has reinvented itself many times in our history, with customers leading us every step of the way. Project LiveWire is another exciting, customer-led moment in our history.”
We do not know anything about the specs of this bike but we have been told by the company that the bike offers a visceral riding experience with tire-shredding acceleration and an unmistakable new sound.
